Thanks to the likes of Pinterest and Tumblr I have become increasingly obsessed with beauty and fashion editorials. I just love the harshly exaggerated features of the facial form combined with vibrant, highly pigmented colours which creates interesting and beautiful pictures which are so often featured in fashion magazines, couture fashion shows and in beauty advertising. Like couture fashion, beauty editorials allow for overstated looks that would otherwise be deemed 'crazy' in an everyday look. A definite reason for why I love beauty editorials so much is that the face almost becomes a canvas for a piece of art, where the face enhances the makeup as much as the makeup enhances the face.

By washing out the colours of the eyes, this picture creates an almost ghostly mood, further enhancing the darkness and shape of the lips.

Now that all of the major features of the face have been desaturated. The only facial feature that has been remotely highlighted are the models cheekbones, this creates the angular feel featured in the photograph.

The combination of the water layered over the face in this photo creates a clever distortion of the facial form. The way the water curves on the left side of the face exaggerates the models cheekbones, whilst the colours in the eye makeup and exaggerated and bold eyelashes reinforces the underwater theme featured in this editorial .

The beautiful eyelashes the model has on in this picture creates an almost fairy-like theme in the photograph.

I love the wet-look eye makeup contrasting with the orange power shadow under the lower lash line.

The peacock feather inspired eye is a beautiful feature in this makeup look. I think the gold highlights in the brow lift the whole eye look and is a gorgeous touch to complete an amazing eye makeup design.

The beautiful craziness going on in this picture is gorgeous to me. The white horizontal lines going across the eyes, chin and forehead contrast so well with the vertical shadows going down the models face, perfectly exaggerating the natural bone structure on the model's face.
